outlawed within 15 years

Astonishingly, the three roman factions got outlawed in year 256 BC !
My faction (Scipii) wasn't even popular with the plebians, I only captured Sicily and two small Greek towns...(I completed all the Senate's missions but one).

Has anyone experienced this, or is it simply a bug to get outlawed that early?

so any time something unusual happens, it becomes a suspected bug?

Last time I played as Romans (Julii) I got outlawed in 100 BC, I had a very strong plebian support, it made sense. But there it was rather... unexpected

Probably not a bug, just what your game decided to throw at you on that Campaign.

I did not experience such results, however if there is many more, I would just say that the game is made that way.

Being outlawed 15 years into a campaign sounds fairly buggy to me. I can't believe CA would program the 'Senate outlawing a faction' trigger to be a purely random event, it simply doesn't make sense. Does your faction leader possess any traits that might wreck his Influence rating? If you've created no tricky alliances and have done nothing wrong other than fail a single Senate mission then either this is probably the result of a wildly improbably roll of the dice combined with something small amiss in the relevant files.

My faction's leader possessed no traits that could provoke the Senate's wrath (skilled bureaucrat, skilled commander, ex-Quaestor, etc...). I had no allies but the other roman factions. If I had been outlawed alone, then maybe it could have been a Senate's plot but considering the two other Roman families shared my fate I doubt it.

When I played the Brutii campaign, my faction was outlawed by the senate in 268 B.C., two years after the beginning!

Is this really supposed to happen?

One of my generals did have one the "bonus to popularity with the people, penalty to the popularity with the senate" traits, but two years is awfully quick...
